It was the king's comeback for the Los Angeles Lakers. LeBron James showed his difference in his second away game against the San Antonio Spurs. He finished the game with 39 points and 11 rebounds. This time, Anthony Davis did not play in this match, but Dennis Schoreder made a significant contribution to the team. All is well with the Los Angeles Lakers for now. He will now play both games in Los Angeles.
Lebron won't be enough, we all know that. But with Schroder, it is enough to win a game as long as he will have the best night of his life. This is the Schroder that I have seen in the Eurobasket just months ago. The Lakers team might not be his countrymen, or he is not fighting for his country, but the honor is there. If he plays well, his countrymen are rejoicing about his success. I cannot wait to see how much chemistry they can create when AD is back. With Schroder backing up the bench team, they won't have to worry whenever they need a rest. Yes, the times has changed and the old Lebron cannot do what he have been doing for the past years. He can still be the biggest contributor and leads the team with the help of his experience throughout the years, but he need the rest of the team to deliver a win. Schroder is still adjusting because he have just joined the team late because of the injury he experienced, but I'll expect that he will do his best just like what he did in the Eurobasket. And he should be impressive this time if he wanted to have an extension. |

Bad beginning never end up in good result ,rather it ends in regret, waste of fund. The problem why some beginners starts investment in a wrong way is because they are too busy and think knowledge is time consuming.
I disagree with your statement, are you sure you are off to a good start and that you have never made a mistake in your investment journey? Most of the newbies in the market will have a difficult start because of simply lack of knowledge, and no leader… it can be said that they don't know where to start. But as long as they realize their shortcomings, never stop learning, and don't give up after falling, they will become real investors like us. Exactly! Failing is a part of the journey especially if you are new in the crypto world, even the veterans still have losses because of the market's unpredictable movement, so, what would you expect for the beginners, right? Failing is way to learn so that you can improve the next time you will take some risks. Moreover, I don't really believe that this time is a bad beginning for the beginners because it is up to them if they will equip themselves with the knowledge needed to survive in this space, so of course, without that knowledge then there's really no luck for you here. Aside from that, this time is not really that bad to start because it is even a good way to start and accumulate coins while you can still buy it at a much cheaper price before the market recovers. |

I seldom see something like this
Beterbiev by KO/TKO - 13 (100%)
Beterbiev by decision - 0 (0%)
Yarde by KO - 0 (0%)
Yarde by decision - 0 (0%)
Draw - 0 (0%)
but with this specific fight, this is 100% possible, a guy with a 100% knockout percentage against a guy who got knocked out from an aging warrior and with a jab to deliver it, Yarde talks about how things change and he is not the same Yarde that fought Kovalev, but what's the difference, he will still get busted.
Seeing this kind of poll is indeed rare but, in this fight, it is somehow expected that Beterbiev will have a landslide vote here in this forum just like how he will have a landslide victory here over this bigmouth Anthony Yarde who is talking that he can do this and that or how he improved throughout the years since he was defeated by Kovalev. I mean, really? It's unbelievable to see that he is still boasting despite of that fact. |

It's an L for me in tonight's game, my single bet and my parlay.
All starts from the Raptors and Mavs game, it's Raptors home court but the Mavs took control early in the game. But the home team can't be denied as they rally in the closing of the 2nd quarter. And at the start of the 3rd they have control. Nevertheless the Mavs keeps fighting back and even take a 1 point lead in the 4th. But it was their last push as Toronto pour everything in the last 8 minutes of the game.
The same for me. The Suns cannot put a distance against the Utah Jazz and the -4.5 was not covered. I should've taken a live bet while the Jazz was still in a big lead. Moving forward!  We have 3 super early games. Brooklyn Nets vs Portland Trail Blazers 4:00 AM GMT+8 Minnesota Timberwolves vs Golden State Warriors 4:30 AM GMT+8 Los Angeles Clippers vs Indiana Pacers 5:00 AM GMT+8 I am still asleep at those times so might as well input my bets tonight. Nets -6.5 Warriors -4.5 Clippers -1.5 Good luck guys. Same here, I'm certain that I'm still in my deepest sleep when those mentioned games will commence later. So yea, might as well put my bets for tomorrow. Anyone here interesting to ride the Sixers ML vs the Magic? They still managed to defeat the Magic last time even though most of their reliable players are now around. I think I'll throw some few in this game. Following you on that Warriors bet, they seem to regain their momentum now and started winning on their road games. |

This fight going to be big fight, both the participants are equal with their strength and strategy. Thurman had the reputation already in the championship. He had won three times of the game he played. Even Thurman not in the top 5 position, his game was impressive in the boxing league. His game and tactics helped them to score the points and with three championship. He is recovered from the injury and will make the good game for the upcoming matches.
Everyone is expecting that Spence will win, but we have Thurman who is not a champion but still fight like a Champion. I'm glad that Spence take this challenge although it's mandatory now, but the fact that Spence fighting a legit challenger, that will make this fight very interesting compared to the fight of Crawford. It's also because most of the 147 lbs fighters are into the stable of Al Haymon in PBC that's why it's easy to made. As compare to Crawford which has to settle on Avanesyan on his next fight as he can't find a good dance partner. And that is why he is still being criticized eventhough is no longer with Top Rank. But as a I have said, PBC controls that division and they have Thurman and Spence to fight next and obviously the winner will all be in house money and belt for them. Will the winner of this fight going to fight Crawford? If it's Spence, then I doubt the fight will happen as he already docked Crawford, so although I think Spence is the better fighter, I'm still looking for a possible upset to see a Thurman vs Crawford fight. If Thurman wins, he will make a big news and that will bring the hype so high, which means they will make more money if the mega fight between Crawford will happen. |

Westbrook only get less ball time because Bron do the most on this match. I believe Lebron is starting to step up now again for his team since people already doubting his ability due to there lose streak while his team sometimes won without him. Spurs is not that strong team but they still manage to fight Lakers on this high score match despite Lakers has veterans star while Spurs is just composed with bunch of rookies and mid range stats players. Lakers needs to thanks Spurs because without them, they will not gonna get there 3 wins out of there current 7 wins.  Maybe LeBron is starting to get back into the game, 39+11 is a great result, but you're right, the Spurs aren't strong enough to get 138 points against the Lakers. However, their streak has already reached 8 defeats in a row, so a win with team like this is not a very big reason for joy. And by the way, Utah in a very difficult game lost only one point to Phoenix away, and this is Utah's fourth defeat in a row, it's a bit unexpected to see such a series in Utah, after such a good start. We need to see the consistency, actually, he can make that production if he really wants to, he is the captain ball so he has the freedom to shoot the ball all night. The problem is, if he contribute huge, can he make sure that it will still make the team do their job, because if that would result to struggling of his teammates, he is not an effective leader. What happen to everyone touches the ball? |

Bolts ML @2.78 vs Magnolia
I would have picked the same if I was able to bet on this game. We are in the 3rd quarter already and the game is quite close, Meralco already leading by 1 point McDaniels does not have his usual numbers yet but as for the team play, Meralco is doing well, good luck mate. All of the sudden it has become a blowout win by the Magnolia. There's no way Meralco will be able to comeback now that Magnolia already has 20 points lead. There's only one full quarter left, and Meralco is not SMB or Ginebra who can have a big come back to win. Anyway, it's not over yet but the chance of Meralco winning is very low now. |

We have two games today but the first game which will be this 4:30 PM is not that interesting to watch, so let's proceed to the last game which is the battle of Beermen vs TNT.
If you bet on Phoenix spread then you might find this game interesting because Phoenix is currently leading with 11 points. I wouldn't be surprise if Phoenix will have a blowout win after this. Based on ML odds, we have SMB 1.61 and TNT 2.32.
Nice odds, I guess SMB takers will not hesitate betting on that odds. At my bookie, I could get a max of 1.67 with a price boost.
It's still unpredictable even though SMB is the favorite because TNT is also a great team, they may have struggled in their past games but they can always comeback with a good win. By the way, TNT is on a 3 losing streak, I don't know but I have a feeling they will play harder to win. |

After a few days of not betting because I was resting due to sickness, I was able to hit my parlay today. Honestly, I just played it safe and picked the matches that are most predictable and lo and behold, I won. Not that much, just a total odd of 3.4 but still, after a few days off, this is a welcome win.
Milwaukee Bucks vs Cleveland Cavaliers -- 117 - 102
Boston Celtics vs Sacramento Kings -- 122 - 104
San Antonio Spurs vs Los Angeles Lakers -- 94 - 105
Nice one, did all your picks win? Your picks are the favorites in every match up, and they had easily covered the spread. The bucks were down early but they have a big run that left the Cavaliers hanging because they have no answer from their big run. Congrats bro. |

Artur Beterbiev is the reason why the supposed fight against Anthony Yarde last August was not pushed through.
What's the status of Beterbiev regarding that injury? Since this fight becomes official, of course, he is cleared to fight but I'm sure that injury might still give an effect and change his performance even slightly.
This will be Yarde's biggest break in his career although Beterbiev is really a tough boxer to beat. I believe Artur Beterbiev is fully healed since they already accepted the fight date. This is indeed the biggest break for Yarde's career. What more can he ask for? A title fight in his own backyard. And Beterbiev is not just bringing 1 belt but the 3 belts and the lineal recognition as the best in the division, something WBA titlist Dmitry Bivol should envy. Yes, it is safe to assume that Artur Beterbiev is already healthy and safe to fight Yarde this coming January because Bob Arum won't sure approve the announced timeline if his boxer is not yet capable to fight in the next few months. Surely, Bob won't take the risk to get Beterbiev at the disadvantage and somehow give Yarde an advantage to defeat his boxer because that will mean that he won't be having the pleasure of making some business worth millions when the undisputed fight of the LHW begins. Or Bob Arum wil not give the go signal if he thinks that Beterviev might lose this fight. So the risk is there, but it's just minimal so this fight will happen next year. Yarde's only advantage is that he have the crowd behind him and Beterviev being a Russian, could get a lot of boos from the crowd. But this is professional boxers, he can block it out and just focus on the job at hand that is to beat their home town boy. Yes, including that fact. Once the doctors have cleared Beterbiev then that means that he is already safe and healthy to prepare for his upcoming fight with Anthony Yarde but the funny thing is that Beterbiev was the one who got injured but Yarde is the one who takes a tune-up fight before their fight this coming Jan. 28 .. Not sure if this will take a toll on Yarde and give him some hardships because the tune-up fight and his fight with Beterbiev is too near with each other. |

I'm sure adjusting to 122 from 118 won't be a big problem and he can adjust easily to it. Not unless he will have the same health status as Casimero that struggles to catch the 118lbs at the target date although not unlikely to happen for Inoue.
Because it is the hardest thing in boxing, the adjustment of weight either above or below your usual weight and still maintain a good body condition is not that easy though. Many struggles on that phase just to make a fight. True, there are boxers that also struggles when they move up in weight, they seems to look like overweight on the next division. And I guess that's what really separates legendary boxer to just ordinary boxers, because legendary boxers such as Pacquiao, Oscar Dela Hoya and Floyd can go up in weight and somewhat carry their power and win against natural boxers within that weight class. Hopefully Casimero and Inoue can go up without any problems at super bantamweight. That also separates them from the ordinary boxers because the likes of Manny Pacquiao and the ones you named are truly born to be a boxer, it's like fate has already selected them that they will be a legendary boxer once they grew up and achieve a milestone that will separate them from the ordinary boxers. As the cases stated, it is truly difficult to jump from one division to another because in most cases, a boxer can climb the next weight class, but his power and skills won't be going with him. Unlike these legendary boxers, they made it so easy jumping through different weight class while defeating the champions. Hopefully Casimero and Inoue can go up without any problems at super bantamweight. We will find out about that soon. Casimero already made the move, Inoue will be up next when he is already finished collecting all the belts in bantamweight. |

Anyway, for the games tomorrow, I would only pick one which is the Clippers beating the Warriors on the road.  This one is good because the Warriors recently are very unpredictable, they are 7-1 at home but Clippers is not an easy team to beat. Leonard is already playing although with limited minutes but that would inspire his teammates more. Their win against the Utah Jazz is enough for them to bring that momentum going to chase center. It was good if the Clippers won, LOL. Unfortunately, I miss looking at the report before placing my bet, no superstars for the Clippers except for John Wall who only score 9 points. If only Leonard played, then maybe there's a chance they'll win. It's just a bad bet. Almost made the same choice and had bet on the Clippers juicy ML. But fortunately, when I was just browsing about their recent stats, I bumped to an article that says that it will be a starless night for the Clippers which had me thinking why the ML was too good to be true. Lesson learned for me not to get careless again because there will be sometimes that a tip-off will come late. Just like this one. Anyway, I believe that the score of their game earlier is quite reasonable because if Leonard or PG were playing, the Warriors will take a different route rather than giving their 2nd squads sometime. We can see that Klay and Steph were not given long minutes on the court so that they can still rest. |

Ok just to make it formal:
"On November 14, 2022, TGB Promotions applied for special permission on behalf of Spence to fight Thurman in February 2023, but with specific mandatory conditions. Pursuant to WBA rule C.16, which states that mandatory defense periods can be modified for cause, either by special permission request or on its own initiative, the WBA decided that Spence can face Thurman," the WBA stated.
https://www.boxingscene.com/errol-spence-vs-keith-thurman-title-fight-approved-by-wba--170619So this fight has been sanctioned by the WBA already, one of Spence belt, and now that we have 2 bodies already, WBC + WBA and perhaps the IBF will follow suit with the mandatory fight order as well. And to add to this, WBA also ordered WBA "regular" welterweight champion Eimantas Stanionis to make a mandatory defense against Vergil Ortiz. And then the winner facing the winner of Spence vs Thurman to have one single champion. This makes things more interesting because Spence is now more oblige to fight Thurman, he obviously cannot make some priorities on that revenge that he might be wanted because that will be an expensive mistake that will cost him 2 belts and there's a high chance that the IBF will follow as well, if that happens, all 3 belts is now on the line. Keith will surely be excited because things are getting into his favor, now the only thing he needed to do is to defeat Spence. There's nothing to worry about that this fight will not happen because both boxers will certainly find a way to make sure it will happen. Thurman should be happy with this fight, after his comeback win, now he is going to fight the champion and he will have a chance to win that belts. I'm really not that worried because I know that this mandatory fight will surely happen unlike from the supposed undisputed fight, Errol Spence may want to give some revenge because this is a bit too personal for him, but I do not think that Al Haymon will give his blessing and just let Spence do his thing. Keith Thurman on the other hand is surely glad that the WBA is also joining the club. |

The Philadelphia 76ers are beating the Brooklyn Nets right now even though Brooklyn has Kevin Durant, Ben Simmons, & Kyrie Irving and the 76ers are playing without Joel Embiid, James Harden, & Tyrese Maxey. Gamblers who are Philly fans might end up happy campers tonight. The Brooklyn Nets big 3 aren’t playing bad either. They’re just being out worked by the Philly bench players.
Philly's second team still holding up with a three-point lead. It will be embarassing for the Nets to lose here but they would probably take them out in the fourth. Good game so far but it's just disappointing to see both teams trading missed 3-pointers late in the third quarter. And it's over now, 115-109, and that is why the Sixers are a huge underdog in this game. Without their stars Joel and Harden and yet their second unit was able to snag that win against the Nets. Melton and Tobias Harris did the damage for the Sixers. The big 3 of the Nets have good game, but the Sixers really make it hard for them. Good for those who bet on the Sixers in this game. Maxey wasn't around with the Sixers too yet they still managed to hold and defeat the complete and healthy Brooklyn Nets. The Sixers 2nd squad was impressive in their game earlier and exactly the reason why they're still competitive even without their stars, but that doesn't mean they don't need them already because with Embiid and Harden, their chances are much likely increases. Tomorrow they will face the Hornets and they are again the underdogs, this might be good. |

I really don't understand why Steven Kerr didn't choose to rest his star yesterday and have then all in today, I believe that the Pelicans are a much more better team than Rockets, if with their best players they couldn't get a win against Houston Rockets, I wonder they hope to do hit against an healthy Pelicans.
I like that idea. Whenever they will have a back-to-back game they should think about using the 2nd team if their first opponent will be the weaker team. They have a fighting chance by doing that, and then the 1st team will have their rest and be used for the next game against the stronger team. Why didn't they think about that? @Harkorede they need you on the coaching staff. Just kidding. But I do agree with your logic there. I won several live bets but I also lost a lot yesterday, I could say I just got ROI. Tomorrow, 4 games only. I think the 76ers vs Nets will be covered by TNT. That will surely be more fun. Only one bet I could think of that have a winning chance. Sacramento Kings -3.5. The Lakers had been winning games so I am doubtful to bet for the Suns. Denver Nuggets is filled with injuries (Covid related) so Detroit Pistons might win. I cannot understand that part as well why they choose the Rockets instead of the Pelicans, just maybe, maybe Steve Kerr is just too eager to get the franchise a win because the team is quite a mess for the past games they had especially that straight road games they did and ended getting defeated for I think 5 consecutive games. For tomorrow: Celtics -4.5 vs Mavericks Bulls vs Bucks -7 |

Also, it is every boxer's dream is to maintain their undefeated status while also cement their legacy and there's just few boxers who did that until they retire.
As for this one, Inoue will have to risk his record in-order to gain because he won't be growing if he will always stay in his comfortable division.
Naoya Inoue already knows and surely understands that moving up will come to him. He's prepared for that. Besides, I think SuperBantamweight will still be his comfortable division soon as it's not that a big leap from Bantamweight to Super Bantamweight. It's easy to move up instead of moving down. Boxers increase their strength more during moving up as they will also take additional training in the process. So far, Naoya Inoue don't have any issues on his weight that is why he is planning to climb the next weight class and I reckon that he just don't see himself staying long at the bantamweight division if he can still move up and grab titles. As we all know, rumors had it that Inoue might be following Pacquiao's footstep or trying to break it. By the way, I echo your sentiment that super bantam will be soon Inoue's comfortable division because the weight difference is not that big. So, his prowess won't be heavily affected at all. |
